Re: [WiX-users] Managing Files - directories - folders

I'm not certain but I have a guess: Change to and try again. What I am suspecting is that the public name XML is not being changed when you change the value of INSTALLDIR. By changing the case, you make it a non-public so it's default value isn't shared with the server-side of the transaction.

Hi As I mentioned in my prvious thread, I'm trying to get the Restart Manager to show up during uninstall from the Control Panel. Here's what I know so far: A) If I run the MSI directly then I get options like "Change" and "Remove". When I pick Remove everything works fine and I do get the Rest

[WiX-users] Using New Lines in Text Fields for Custom WiX Extension Doesn't Work

I have developed a custom extension and have found that if I use newline/return character xml codes in text fields, WiX incorrectly generates the temporary IDT files. Thus when WiX is trying to apply the IDT files to the MSI, it fails. For example, suppose I have the following custom table:

My service uses an instance of Sql Server. Now, if that instance is on the current machine, I need to set a dependency on that service so that my service starts afterwards. I can foresee a hard time getting this into my installer. I need to determine if the sql server is on the current machin

Re: [WiX-users] WixUI CustomizeDlg

Simple. There are three separate applications, all of which share a large set of common components. The user should be able to install any one or all of these applications. The common components are in their own component group and assigned to all features, but it does not make sense to put t

Re: [WiX-users] WixUI CustomizeDlg

Why does your Feature Tree have every Feature selectable as disabled? Surely there's some core components of your application you'd want to always be installed if the user is running your installer? It's kind of pointless to try & handle a case where the user doesn't select anything for install. W
